FREEZING COLD outside. This run put my first glycerins over 400 miles:) Foot feels great! Ran the backward buffalo run. Last mile was a 9 average. Sprinted at the end.

Plank X3 at 2:00, 1:30 and 1:00

Ran alone in beautiful St. George!  Stayed at Las Palmas and ran all around there. Lots of hills and one really long steep one.

Plank X3 @ 2:00, 1:30 and 1:00

1:56:37 AP 14:35

I ran/walked the Poppy Bear something trail over by Las Palmas. Got red dirt all over my new shoes but I scrubbed them off when I got home. Ran up and down some really cool bike trails. I want a mountain bike. I went with a friend from home that I've never exercised with. We ran into each other at the pool and she asked if I wanted to go with her. I was fine with walk/running cause I wanted to take it easy before the triathlon. 

SHAC triathlon in St. George. My first triathlon so I guess I am now a triathlete. I did this with my friend who came up from Vegas.

My time was 1:26. My transitions weren't the smoothest. My friend brought me a bike and helmet and I had tried the helmet but then she switched it last minute and I didn't try it. So...I went to put it on during the race and it didn't fit and she had to adjust it twice for me so lost time there. I was all ready to run cause I wore my running shoes on the bike. I love the bike I just needed padding. My family saw me transitioning from bike to run but I didn't see them till half way through my run. I was so happy to see them cheering me on!

I swam 400 yrds

Biked 10 miles

Ran 3 miles

Those are not official sprint distances but close. It was really hard. I enjoyed the swim. My crotch still hurts from the bike. My feet were numb the first mile of the run. Good times:)

Josie's asleep and I didn't get up early so plyo runs on the treadmill today.

It was a beautiful morning! I could smell the blossoms or something good. Awesome time out this morning.

Was supposed to go at 6:30 with my sister but she's still recovering from jet lag and was up from 1-3am so she bagged it. I still went and stuck close to home since there were big gray clouds rolling in. It ended up not storming on me. I had a head wind heading south and legs were tired but I tried to push it at the end.

Splits on unaided run (which only happens if I stick close to home)

Beautiful morning. I ran around the parks and down at Falcon there was a light mist/fog around the park that was cool. I also tan into two ducks down there. So cute. They flew away when I said hi as I ran by. Then ran over to Flat Iron and found myself wondering why I hadn't seen any other run/walkers out and then jumped and screamed a bit when another runner (guy) passed me from behind. Need to not run with music for that reason. I am a super jumpy person though. And I like my music right now:)

2 days ago I went out in the backyard and found my new running shoes had spent the night out in the rain. My 2 yr old apparently wore them outside and left them there:( They've been through St. George red dirt and rain now. I guess they're broken in.

Met Deb, Hobbes and Betsy at 5:45 am. I just followed them. We went up to the top of the trail to La Caille and back. They talked about emergency preparedness the first 4 miles. I'm so not prepared. So I'm a little scared. Betsy was running circles around Deb and I and then way out in front. It was nice to run with company and I'm glad I never tripped on the trail. Deb tripped about 5 times and we were laughing. She didn't trip and fall, just little trips.

Fast 2 mile walk pushing 2 yr old in stroller. Beautiful afternoon. Love Spring!

1:09:11 AP 9:53

I wore a hat cause I thought it would rain on me for sure...but it never did. Thought I might be going with Deb but ended up alone. It was windy but warm. I ran up Eastdell which I haven't done in a while. Had a head wind running up it to so I felt like I was barely moving ha!

9th grader has cheer clinics and tryouts this week. I'm nervous and excited for her to enter high school and maybe the world of cheer leading. We also need to start letting her drive (she's almost 15)! ah! I can't handle it! My kids are growing up! It all seems like yesterday for me, (driving/high school/cheer) but I guess I'm just really old now:(

43:52 AP 9:45

Left at 6:30 and thought for SURE it would rain on me sometime, so I wore my raincoat. It's my bigger one that I hardly ever wear but my lighter one doesn't have a hood and I didn't want my hair wet today. I was too hot in it and of course it did NOT rain on me. I even wore old shoes. It was a beautiful spring morning with the birds singing loudly. I swear I heard some exotic bird at one point, not the sound I usually hear from the birds around here.

Lets talk about SMELLS! My favorite of course is the fresh, clean, spring, almost gonna rain smell. But it was also garbage day so GARBAGE, DRYER VENT (so dryer sheet smell, perfume) BREAKFAST/MUFFINS I'm pretty sure and CIGARETTE SMOKE. I usually don't see the source of the smoke smell but today he was right out on the sidewalk and this is not the area where I usually smell cigarette smoke. Anyway... I usually smell one, maybe two of these on a run but not all together so I had to write about it:) Trying to decide which smell I enjoy the most while running.

Beautiful spring morning. So grateful for running in my life.

9:33, 9:41,10:19, 9:21, 8:51

PlankX3 at 2min,1:30 and 1min.

6am run up Little Cottonwood Trail...and back down. Went with Deb, Jill and Betsy but mostly ran with Betsy. It was my first time running this trail and I loved it! It was challenging but so beautiful and loved the trail on my feet. I might need to buy trail shoes... I'm trying to decide whether or not train for a marathon for Sept 8 or train to pace Betsy through the Wasatch 100 (she said it would be 12 miles somewhere. I think Lambs canyon). although when we were hiking some of the hills she said maybe I should pace her on some hills cause I was good at it. Road running is kind of boring after trails. I came home and ran a little to make it 7 miles. Betsy runs that trail all the time and we hoped to see a moose that she always sees in a certain area but all we saw were moose droppings/chocolate covered almonds:) Looked for Mountain goats too but didn't see any:( The temps were perfect and it was so beautiful and so close to home! Must do it again soon. Love SPRING!!!

What?? 29.75? Gotta get back out there now!;)

Oh and my 9th grader made JV cheer/song leader! We were up till midnight waiting to find out if she made it. Need a nap today!

48:37 AP 9:44

Left around 6:30 and I thought I saw Lysa way down the street. I ran to catch up with her and was happy to see it was her. We ran for a while and talked. SO much better than running alone. It was so WARM this morning. Crazy summer feeling day! I ran a mile and 1/2 after running Lysa home. Fun!

Mowing the lawn and cleaning out the garage today.

1:08:31 AP 9:48

Left around 6:30 again and it was HOT this morning. Wore shorts today. I almost needed my water. It was 66 degrees when I left. I think I saw Amy Talbot and Nicole walking down Highland while I waited at the light.

Nice run.

6-7am  Power Pump class at rec center.

Mowed the lawn.

37:42 AP 9:26

Ran around both parks today. I was in a hurry so I tried to run fast up and down the hills.

Perfect weather this morning.

Thinking about joining a gym but I'm so back and forth on it. Why am I nervous about it?

1:01:48 AP 9:58

Ran Ashley's 6 with her that she was worried about. It wasn't raining when I woke up so I called her and said "Let's go now!" Left around 7:55am. She ran over here and we ran around here and over to Flat Iron. It looked like the clouds were rolling in when we first left but it never rained and the sun even came out on my way home. I ran her home and then ran back home. Beautiful and green outside!

Went to Save the Day 5k for Gage Thompson this morning at Murray Park! It was so fun. We took the whole family. My two oldest were at the water station and I pushed my 2 yr old in a jogger. My 7 and 10 yr old ran with my husband. My kids looked so cute in those cute t-shirts! It was a fun and beautiful place to run. Cami (7) started out with Sydney (10) but slowed way down and Jeff stayed with her till I caught up to them. I stayed in the back with the stroller and it took me a while to catch up cause there were lots of slow people and a small path. I did catch up eventually and Jeff went ahead and Cami stayed with Josie (2) and I. The second loop around we saw a duck floating down the little stream and a mommy duck with her babies that was SO cute! Cami did amazing and ran this entire 5k! I was a little bit ahead of her and I think she was scared to lose me so she just kept running, even up the big hill twice! I let Josie out a little before the finish so she could run through the balloons. 

It was a great event and you did a great job LYSA! Sydney and Cami have never run a 5k and it was just great to get the family out for a good cause. Josie loved it to and Jane said it was fun to be able to see all the runners and pass out water. I haven't talked to Liz cause she's still with you as I'm writing this. Super fun morning for Super hero Gage! Yummy cookies too!

I drove Sydney to tumbling at 123rd and just past the freeway. I drove down to JRP and ran 5 miles. My music died on me( I tried to run this 5 miles fast cause my .6 and 5k time was slow with kids. I also had to get back fast to get Sydney on time. It was really cold this morning at the 5k but warmed up as the sun came out. I changed and ran in capris and short sleeves on the jrp and the temp was perfect. Love being able to run at noon in the Spring! I saw a guy with ski poles and what looked like skates that were long, like a skateboard, but not quite that long. Never seen that before.

47:54 Ran around both parks this morning. Tried to run fast up and down some hills. AP 9:35
